Actress Madchen Amick discusses the challenges and triumphs of supporting her son Sly, who has bipolar I disorder, over the past 13 years. Sly is now a 'certified peer specialist' and actively helps other young people struggling with mental health.
For Mädchen Amick and her family, navigating her son Sly’s bipolar I disorder is a “continuing journey.”
Amick previously opened up about her son’s bipolar I diagnosis in 2023, revealing Sly, now 32, was diagnosed in 2012 while in college. “Things have been going great!” she adds. “He had a bit of a challenge about three months ago when a medication was changed.
Prior to his recent bout, Sly went through a “destabilization” experience back in 2021. When it comes to preventing him from destabilizing again, Amick tells Us that she, her husband, David Alexis, and daughter, Mina, 31, are always lending Sly a helping hand. Amick also notes that her son “goes to AA meetings really consistently” and is “really committed to communicating with his psychiatric team as well as continuing to search for that good therapist that also helps him put tools in place so he can start checking in with mood regulation.”
